Yes the Tiburon kit is a direct swap

Both those no letter and S 533 are nice reels
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Well folks, looks like most everything sold! Lots of familiar names on the buyers list, so thanks for that!
I've got to get this batch in the mail and then I'll list the last of the complete reels. I've just about got the parts organized. Lots of bags in boxes stuffed into another bag before being stuffed into one big box!

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Looking forward to seeing the rest.  Trying to build an arsenal for half day boats consisting of only Vintage Newell reels 😎

It was at $128, I bid a max of $130. In the last minute it jumped to $158. Too much for me for something I didn't really need. I already have better reels in that size. I just thought a retro 220 would be cool if it ends up being an Anchovy year.

I so glad these Newells are getting a second life.  Tom you're the Man!  Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Just got a 332 blackie in the mail and it looks great!!  When testing out the free spool, I noticed it had a little bit of a speed wobble to it.  Is that par for the course with these older reels, or is there something specific I should be looking for when I go through it?

Thanks!
